C. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C. & Sr. J- Dlythe 400g D/HP/Y5/JR.{Mr James Royce}2.4.40. Re: Chassis 14.B.V with Corniche Body. In reply to your telegram to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} we beg to say that there are no Customs Papers which we can loan you in connection with this matter. The chassis was brought back under an R.A.C. Carnet, which was completed as though the car in its entirety had been returned. However, on receipt of the Invoice for the repairs to the body, we shall be able to proceed with the matter on this side. We presume you will have no difficulty in exporting the body from France. We would remind you to have it sent via the Dieppe-Newhaven route, as this is rather important. D/JR.{Mr James Royce} | ||
